About ECR
ECR stands for “Efficient Consumer Response”. The ECR movement effectively began in the mid-nineties...
WHAT NEXT?
Digital technology is rapidly being woven into the very fabric of our businesses today. No part of the supply chain – from the farmyard all the way through to our shoppers, with their smart-phones and online ordering – is left untouched.
Does it end there? No way. As the technologies advance, so must we if we are to survive and prosper.
At our ECR Europe conference in May we will examine the latest – and predicted – trends in the digital arena and how they are helping to shape our industry.
Talking of survival, we will also see how collaboration can play its part in these tough economic times. And we will explore the essential links between growth and sustainability.
Three key issues… Join us in May for ECR: The next generation.
Out of this world !
Join us at the ECR Europe conference – and spend an evening surrounded by the amazing art of surrealist painter René Magritte. We will be hosting an evening at the Musée Magritte, with food, drink, music and more than 200 paintings, drawings, posters and photographs by Belgium’s most famous surrealist son.

FAST FORWARD TO BRUSSELS
The date is set and the venue booked. Our 16th annual ECR Europe Conference & Marketplace will return to The Square Centre in Brussels on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 May 2012.
Why Brussels? Very simply, it’s not just the political and business heart of Europe but is also supremely easy to reach by road, air or rail (very good for your carbon footprint!).
And we chose The Square once again not only because we like the quality of its conference and exhibition facilities but because you do too. In an independent survey after this year’s conference, 80 per cent of delegates said they would choose The Square again, and the venue was strongly praised by exhibitors as well.
